inward dialing vote held 


Direct 

By MARY ANN SABO

ALICE HIGDON 
Student Writer 

Students in all the dorms except 
Clement will be asked to vote today 
on a proposal that would add direct 
inward dialing to individual dorm 
rooms next fall quarter, according 
to Dru Crawley, director of 
purchasing. 

"Right now, somone calling from 
outside the campus has to call the 
desk phone. The desk operator has 
to call the room to see if the student 
is in and then transfer the call,” 
Crawley explained. 

He said that the new system 
would eliminate the desk operator 
and allow parents and others to 
call directly to a student’s room. 

Crawley said that he met with 
SGA Congress at the end of fall 
quarter to discuss the telephone 
system. 

“We reached a consenus and I 
told them I would investigate the 
problems of phones in the dorms 
and report back to them.” 

Crawley met with Congress last 
Thursday and outlined the new 
proposal. 


Currently, there are 24 inward 
lines or N-dial trunks available for 
student usage and 24 available for 
administrative usage, he 
explained. 

“There are four lines available at 
each desk; if all four lines are busy, 
which they oftentimes are, it is 
almost impossible to reach a 
student when calling from off 
campus," Crawley said. 

“We are going to add four more 
lines for student usage; this 
increase will enable the direct 
inward dialing to the rooms.” 

Crawley said that extra lines 
will cost $30 per quarter and the 
charges will be broken down 
among the residents of Austin 
Peay, McCord, G-H, Ellington, 
and Atrium on the basis of the 
number of students using the lines. 

He said that students in Austin 
Peay, McCord and on third floor 
Ellington will be charged $7.50 
per student per quarter because 
there will be four students on one 
lines. 

Students on the first and second 
floors of Ellington and all students 
in G-H will be charged $15 per 
student, and those in Atrium will 
be charged $4. 


Crawley said that current 
charges for phone usage are $32 
per line and these are figured into 
the housing rates. 

“For example, in G-H, if they 
now pay $16 for phone service, they 
will pay $31 when the direct 
dialing goes into effect." 

Crawley said that the University 
has not yet determined how the 
collection of fees for the new 
system will be handled. 

Students are asked to fill out the 

WATS 

By ANDREA AVERV

Telephone Services gave some 
out-of-state students a Valentine’s 
gift when an additional WATS line 
providing calls to Tennessee’s 
border states went into effect on 
the evening of Feb. 14. 

Students will be able to make 
calls to Kentucky, North Carolina, 
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, 
Arkansas. Missouri and Virginia 


survey form and return them into 
their dorm desks. 

“If a majority of the students 
vote ‘yes,’ then I will formally 
request the new inward s.-rvice 
from GTE." Crawley said. 

'The service takes about six to 
eight weeks to install; we plan on 
doing this in August when no 
classes are being held. The student 
switch will have to be completely 
shut down in order to install the 
service.” 

extends 

after 5 p.m. by using the normal 
WATS procedure (2 -1 - Area Code 
-Number). 

“We did this mainly for the 
students,” said D.B. Crawley, the 
director of purchasing and 
business services. He added that 
present WATS customers received 
a notice about the new service in 
their most recent phone bill. 

The cost of the new out-of-state 
WATS calls will be 324 per minute 


The additional phone service 
will be ready for students when 
they return in the fall. 

Renee Stallcup, speaker of the 
house for congress, said,“The 
response from Congress was very 
positive. We took a trial survey of 
the congress members and they 
voted unanimously in favor of the 
system." 

Crawley anticipates that this 
will alleviate many of the problems 
that students are now having with 
the phone system. 


which is a savings compared to the 
average cost of 424 per minute for 
direct long distance calls to these 
states. 

The rates for in-state calls will 
remain 264 per minute for state¬ 
side calls and 184 per minute for 
West Tennessee calls. 

Over two hundred UTM 
students are from these border 
states, especially Kentucky. This 
number represents a majority of 


today 

“Anything better than the 
existing system will be terrific, 
said John Veazey, desk operator 
for Ellington.” 

Crawley said that it will be much 
easier for outside callers as well as 
parents to call their children in the 
dorms without having to go 
through an outside operator. 

“There will be savings for 
students and their parents and less 
hassle all the way around,” he 
concluded. 


UTM's out-of-state students. 

As one Mississippi student 
pointed out, these students are 
required to pay an out-of-state 
tuition and are then denied 
services that in-state students 
receive. 

This student added, “I think it’s 
great! I haven’t used the WATS 
service in the past, but I plan to 
sign up for it next quarter." 


to out-of-state 


Average 

By RENEE ROBEY 
Student Writer 


Class size in several departments 
have fluctuated over the past two 
years, according to some depart¬ 
ment chairmen. 

One of the factors that 
contributed to this was a lack of 
teaching facilities, according to 
some instructors. 

Dr. C.S. Kim, chairman of the 
department of sociology and 
anthropology, said the drop in his 
department from 55.4 students per 
class to 46.3 was due to the loss of a 
room in Gooch Hall which seated 
100 students. Last year, two large 
sociology classes were taught in 
this room. 

“We turned away so many 
students last fall,” said Dr. Kim, 
"because we just didn’t have the 
space to accomodate them.” 

On a similar note, the drop in 
students in upper division business 
courses from 43.6 students per 
class to 34.7 was attributed in part 
to a large classroom being turned 
into a computer center. The 
original classroom which had 
seated 80 was exchanged for one 
that seated only 40. 


class size changes 


Dr. Paul Shaffer, dean of the 
School of Business, said the 
decrease was also due to the major 
curriculum change for business 
students which specified less 
required courses and more non¬ 
business electives. 

Another contributing factor was 
the addition of Statistics 2210 to the 
math department. This freed 
many business teachers who had 
previously taught the course to 
teach upperdivision classes. 

The decrease in the psychology 
department from 69.4 to 55.2 
students per class however, was 
not due to a lack of space, according 
to Dr. Gary Brown. 

“It was due,” said Brown, 
chairman of the department, “to 
the problem of cheating. I usually 
schedule three or four classes of 
about 150 students each in the 
Humanities Auditorium, but the 
way in which the seats are 
arranged makes cheating too easy. 
So this year I scheduled classes in 
regular classrooms which will only 
hold about 65 students.” 

However, several departments 
showed an increase in the average 
of students per class. One of these 
was the English department which 
went from 10.1 to 18.3 students in 
its upper-division classes. 


“This increase,” said Dr. John 
McClusky, department chairman, 
“was dueto a new class, Literature 
in Film, taught by Robert Todd. 
We had 42 students enrolled fall 
quarter and there are 52 students 
in the class this quarter.” 

Dr. Langdon Unger, chairman 
of the Department of History and 
Political Science, attributed, the 
increase of students per class from 
33.6 to 41.0 in his department to 
the accommodating atmosphere of 
the faculty. 

“If a student wants in,” he said, 
“we try to do everything in our 
power to make sure he gets in.” 

“The home econom ics department 
showed a dramatic increase of 26.4 
students to 59.5 students per lower 
division class. Dr. Ann Cooke, 
department chairperson, said the 
increase was due to a large number 
of transfer students who needed 
lower division classes and to a 
large enrollment in two service 
classes that are only offered in the 
fall. 

“We also advised our beginning 
students," she said, “to go ahead 
and take home economics classes 
that would only be offered fall 
quarter.”

Nihon students leave next week; 
Japanese women to arrive 


By YOON K YOUNG KIM 
Student Writer 

The current Nihon University 
students leave UTM at the end of 
February, and 28 NiijimaGakuen 
Women’s Junior College students 
will arrive at the end of February 
to stay through March 22, 
according to Sandra Baker, 
instructor in International 
Programs. 

“It will be a memorable 
experience in my life,” said 
Nobuhisa Shigematsu, one of the 
Nihon students. “Although we 
could not know exactly what 
America is because we had very 
few chances to contact with 
American people, we could feel 
American mind.” 

Completing the program for 
eight months, Nihon students 
leave for Japan, Feb. 29 stopping 
at San Francisco for one day. 

“Niijima Kakuen Women’s 


Junior College is located in 
Takasaki, beautiful land called 
Japanese Alps,” said Sandra. 

“It is a separate program. They 
will not go to class with other 
international students, and 
contrary to the other programs, 
what is important in this program 
is to enjoy their experiences using 
the vacation,” she commented. 

Charles Gillon, academic 
coordinator of International 
Programs, said the purpose of this 
program is to improve English 
language skills and to understand 
American culture. 

During the students’ stay here, 
they will taketwo hours ofEnglish 
classes every day and will have 
oral research class. 

Oral research class, according to 
Gilon, will give the students an 
opportunity to research some 
aspects of American culture. 

Besides taking English class and 
oral research class, the students 
will receive lecture about 
American family, electives 


including crafts and Southern 
living, trips to historic places such 
as Reelfoot lake, Mammoth Cave 
and Land Between the Lakes and 
extracurricular activities 
involving skating, concerts and 
basketball. 

They will also have host family 
weekend March 9-11 and after 
completing the program, they will 
go to New York and Boston. 

“The host family program will 
give them an opportunity to see 
what American life is really like. 
So, we call it putting them into the 
main stream of America,” 
according to Sam Anderson, 
instructor of International 
Programs. 

"Also, it will be wonderful 
opportunity for American families 
to have a reciprocal relationship,” 
he added. 

This is the first contract with 
Niijima Kakuen Women's Junior 
College, and they are expected to 
stay in Clement Hall.

Literacy tests 
spot problems 


See Johnny. See Johnny read. He has some problems. See Johnny 
write. He has some more problems. 

His problems are more serious than misplaced commas and 
occasional sentence fragments. Johnny has very basic construction 
problems--he can’t make ideas clear in his sentences. He lacks 
organization. He's simply not writing on a college level. 

Johnny is a UTM student. Johnny is a senior 

To be fair. Johnny could be a senior at just about any college or 
university in the United States. Or a junior or a sophomore or a 
freshman for all that it matters. Studies have shown that proficiency 
in English usage is on the decline across the country. 

To combat this problem in our corner of the world, an Academic 
Senate committee is currently studying a proposal that would 
reinstitute a junior English proficiency exam. This exam would 
insure a minimal skill level of all students who have reached the status 
of junior. Those who fail would still have time to improve their writing 
skills before graduation. 

But why wait until the junior year? Why not give the same test at the 
end of the freshman year after the basic English comp classes have 
been completed. Why wait until the beginning of someone's senior 
year to tell them they can't write? Because they’ve obviously received 
positive reinforcement ail through their academic career judging by 
their at least average grades. 

Realizing that such tests are not without flaws and do not always 
measure the student’s true ability, such a proficiency test would be 
able to target groups of students who need help. The gray areas of "is 
he writing on a college sophomore or junior level?" are different than 
the stark black and white of “is he writing on a sixth grade level or a 
fifth?" 

Students who transfer to UTM after their freshman year would 
have to pass the proficiency exam or else take remedial courses until 
their skills were brought up to the minimal acceptable level. In this 
way, the University could insure that all its graduates have at least a 
basic proficiency in English. 

The label “UTM Graduate" says something not only about the 
graduate but about the University itself. It says that in the 
University’s eyes, the student has passed some minimal standards in 
order to receive such certification. But what about those students who 
get through the system and into the job market with less-than-average 
writing skills? Employers will be less than enthusiastic about hiring 
another UTM graduate in the future if they’ve had one in the past who 
can’t write on a junior high level. 

UTM is identifying a problem. The University owes it to all its 
grads to take steps to rectify it. And to all its Johnnys.

Encouraging resentment against a 
state that won’t give enough has often 
been an effective political gambit for 
those desiring to be "public servants." 
In practice, this means that a bunch of 
us less-successful fellows elect 
someone who will steal.. .er, pass land 
reform on another’s property. This is 
institutionalized envy, once described 
as "cultural bone rot.” Envy is now a 
legal norm in states where socialism 
prevails in its partial and perform 
forms. With the proper appeals to class

“It could be much better, but 
compared to other campuses, it is 
good-real good,” said Williams. 

Williams said the Student Congress 
has a better committee structure now 
than it has had in the past. 


“The Committee on Committees is 
very important because it decides who 
will be on the other committees," said 
Taylor. 


He added that some things could not 
be done without student involvement. 

“We are really dependent on 
students.” concluded O'Bryan. 

It appears the spirit of the 60s lives 
on in the minds of UTM students. 
Perhaps the University's slogan ‘The 
Campus that Cares" should be revised 
to say “The Campus with STUDENTS 
that Care.” 


He went on to say that the 
Committee on Committees needs a new 
name, but a new name would be 
deceiving. 

The big question is student 
involvement. 


“When things get quiet, I feel we’re 
missing something. That’s why 
everyone is represented. We like to 
hear students complain,” said 
Williams. 

Williams concluded that 
student involvement and interest must 
be great due to the fact that students

acquainted with their machines." 
Collie said, 

Kevin James works at both the 
Micro Lab and Computer Center and 
feels he practically lives there. 

"I'm assistant to the operator at the 
computer center and I help schedule 
all the printing that goes on here," 
James replied. 

"I handle food bills, grading tests, 
teacher evaluations and grade reports 
at the end of each quarter,” James 
added. 

"I work 22 hours out of the week as a 
departmental staffer. The other 14 or 
so workers work less at rather 
irregular schedules,” James noted. 

Thus, the hard working staff at the 
Computer Center ememplify the UTM 
motto: “the Campus that Cares” by 
helping others understand the strange 
new world of computers. 


"The Center has recently become a 
tremendous help to several 
departments on campus to improve 
various skills. The departments of 
English, agriculture, chemistry, 
physics, music and psychology, have 
various assortments of program 
packages to teach people things that 
are reinforced in the class room,” 
Lemond maintained.

Tim Wilkerson works in both the 
Micro Lab and the Computer Center 
and works with many people from 
various majors besides computer 
science. 

"The Computer Center uses all 
modern computer languages-BASIC. 
COBOL, Fortran, Pascal, etc., but the 
Micro Lab only handles BASIC," 
Wilkerson responded. 

Joel Neely works in the Computer 
Center and helps people who have 
problems in any computer language 

“I work with people, grade tests and 
run printouts for different 
departments plugging into the main 
system." Neely said. 

“If there is some minor problem, we 
can usually fix it, butsomething major 
gets turned over to our superiors,” 
Neely added.' 

Judy Greene, another helpful 
student worker, feels the staff is 
important for keeping an eye on the 
system to make sure the system is 
running well. 


Tim Wilkerson explained that the 
Micro Lab is geared more toward 
other departments than simply 
computer science. 

“We do lots of business, accounting 
and business policy programs written 
in BASIC. The Micro Lab is for people 
who want to just play with their own 
disc." Wilkerson said. 

Wilkerson mentioned that Fridays 
and weekends at both the Center and 
Micro Lab are slow-not as many 
people are frantically working on 
assignments. 

“Mondays are always busy from the 
time the doors open at 8 until 11 at 
night. Most are working on 
assignments due the next day or by 
Monday at 5 o’clock,” Wilkerson noted. 

Lemond knows from experience that 
the pace at the center will get busier 
from now until the end of the quarter, 
much as the library suddenly becomes 
popular with term papers due. 

“People put things off to the last 
minute and go crazy over here! The 
number of programs run increases 
phenomenally,” Lemond stated. 

Lemond explained that the student 
workers only handle grading tests and 
keeping the machinery going. The 
operations side is administrative and 
students are not involved. 

“There are about 12-14 workers here 
and six in the Micro Lab. We don’t 
have a large turnover,” Lemond said. 

The qualifications for working at the 
Computer Center are outlined in the 
application that must be filled out. 


“It helps more depending on the 
amount of computer science courses a 
student takes. Most of the student 
workers are oomputer science or data 
processing majors. We have some 
work-studies who ask to be placed 
down here,” Lemond explained. 

“The time required for working on 
individual programs depends on the 
course. COBAL is a longer program 
than Fortran, for example. Most 
courses require students to turn in a 
minimum of 5-6 programs, with the 
time depending on the quickness and 
adaptability of the individual," 
Lemond continued. 

“UTM’s Computer Center is

Knoxville where all the programs we 
send are processed and printouts are

An increasingly popular place this 
time of the quarter, the Computer 
Center caters to the needs of students, 
staff and faculty at UTM. 

Open 8-11 weekdays, 10-6 Saturdays 
and 1-6 Sundays, the Center and Micro 
Lab are staffed by well-trained 
workers who help people perform 
computer operations and generally 
keep the system from malfunctioning. 

The Computer Center is based on the 
ground level of the Administration 
Building and the Micro Lab is 
stationed in Browning Hall. The two 
computer bases employ about 20 
student workers and staff to keep 
things running smoothly. 

Steve Lemond is in charge of 
keeping the Center open after 
administrative hours and makes sure 
the student workers perform their 
assigned duties. 

“If students need help functioning 
with their computers, the staff helps 
almost as far as tutoring people on the 
mysteries of computer languages," 
Lemond said. , ; I ’ 

“We generally, man the Work system 
and keep track bf general operations 
while people are using the computers,” 
added Lemond. 

The center handles as many as 500 
programs per day depending on how 
many people are working on 
assignments. 


“The Administration is in charge of 
the Computer Center primarily. It is 
not a separate, but a one-functional 
unit." said Lemond. 

Andy Collie, a worker in the 
Micro Lab enjoys helping people 
debug programs. He feels that his 
function is not to tutor, but many 
workers do it anyway. 

“I especially work on problems with 
the computers themselves. The 5

administrator in charge of the whole 
operation. He is immediately 
responsible for the functioning of the 
Center and oversees the staff and 
student worker functions.

The course appeals to pre-med

backgrounds are actively involved in 
the class and it is designed to purposely 
leave out the confusing medical jargon 
used in most pre-med seminars. 

“Bioethics is a useful kind of thing

and is a required course in most

“Each student takes a look at a case

Pacers close regular season Saturday 


By FRANK HODGES 
Sports Editor 

The Pacers ventured to Mississippi 
over the weekend and suffered two 
tough loses. Both loses were compound 
by a sudden rash of injuries to Scott 
Kalis. Mitch Stentiford and Willie 
Forbes. 

All three started against Mississippi 
College on Monday night Kalis could 
go only for about a minute. Stentiford 
and Forbes played well with their 
injuries. Add to this the fact that Sam 
Cherry was plagued with foul trouble 
and it is a tribute to the rest of the 
players, as the Pacers lost by only 10, 
84-74. 

In the first half UTM battled the 
Choctaws on even terms. The score was 
tied 40-40 after the first 20 minutes. 
During the first half, the Pacers 
trailed by seven points on three 
occasions before tying the contest. 

Mississippi College scored 11 
straight points after the game was tied 
at 49. From there on the Pacers could 
get no closer than five points. With 
UTM forced to foul, Mississippi 


College put 24 of 29 charity tosses in 
the second half. 

Ken Hammonds lead the Pacers 
with 18 points. Stentiford. with a bad 
ankle, had 14 while Willie Forbes, 
with a separated shoulder, added 13. 
Cherry had 11 before fouling out. 

Calvin Johnson had 20 points to lead 
the scoring. Kembrel! Young had 18 
with 14 in the second half. Bubba 
Skelton’s hit eight of 10 free throws in 
the second half, had 14 points. Isaac 
Ross and Joe Riley finished with 13 
and 12 points respectively. 

The Pacers, as a team, were 31 of 71 
from the field. 44% and 12 of 16 from 
the free throw line. TheChoctaws were 
29 of 48 from the field for 60.4%, and 26 
of 32 from the line. 

With the loss, UTM is 17 9 overall 
and 7-6 in the GSC. M ississippi College 
is 13-15 and 6-7. The Pacers close out 
the regular season Saturday night at 
home against North Alabama. 

On Saturday night, the Pacers 
suffered two devestating blows as 
Mitch Stentiford and Willie Forbes 


were sidelined with injuries during 
the game. Scott Kalis, who was injured 
in practice, could not perform either. 

Delta State forged ahead 35-29 at 
the end of the first half. The Pacers hit 
a cold spell in the early part of the 
second half and Delta State increased 
their lead. UTM was never really in 
contention after that and the final was 
73-64 Delta State. 

Sam Cherry had 20 points and 10 
rebounds to lead UTM. Tony Povaleri 
added 12 points and 12 rebounds. Ken 
Hammonds and Kyle Herrin each had 
10 points. Forbes, Stentiford and Kalis 
had four points between them before 
their injuries forced them to the 
sidelines. 

Tommy Boyd had 20 points to lead 
Delta State. John T. Hall and Brian 
Luke had 16 and 15 to round out double 
figure scoring for the Statesmen. 

As a team. UTM was 23 of 50 or 46% 
from the field and 19 of 25 or 76% from 
the free throw line. Delta state was 28 
of 52 or 54% from the field and 17of27, 
63% from the line. The Pacers out 
rebounded the Statesmen 36-27. 


Stentiford leaves with more than records 


By LEE WILMOT 
Sports Information Director 

Mitch Stentiford is a name that will 
long be remembered in association 
with UTM basketball, and, the 
remembrance will be for good reason. 

For those persons who have followed 
Pacer basketball at all over the past 
three seasons, Stentiford needs no 
introduction. Stentiford, a 6-foot-2 
senior guard has rewritten several 
Pacer basketball records, including 
becoming its all-time leading scorer 
earlier this season. 

But to think that the individual 
awards are the most important to the 
Baton Rouge, La., resident, a person 
does not know the Pacer sharp-shooter. 
His primary concerns are team- 
oriented. 

Stentiford has been a vital part of 
UTM basketball fortunes since his 
arrival on the UTM campus three 
years ago. He has been a starter on the 
first two Pacer teams that have posted 
~ 20-win seasons and trips to the NCAA 
tournament. And it is his hopes that his 
z career will wind down on a successful 
: note with the Pacers. 

“Our team has done very well in the 
three seasons that I have been here and 
£ >t has been very meaningful for me to 
£ meet the people in the community and 
get an education at UTM,” Stentiford 
said. “1 believe that a tradition has 
z been started here with basketball, and 
z 1 am glad to be a part of it with 
: whatever small contribution that I 
have made.” 

Only Stentiford would look at his 
contributions to the program as small. 
Other persons will tell you that 
Stentiford's contributions have been 
very instrumental as a member of the 
Pacer team. 




Mitch Stentiford 


“Mitch has meant a lot to UTM and 
its basketball program, that is for 
sure,” said Coach Tom Hancock. “He 
has been on teams that have 
accomplished a great many things." 

When an injury sidelined 1983 GSC 
Player of the Year Jerry Davis. 
Stentiford found himself as the only 
returning starter from last year's 
league championship team. He was in 
a new role, and he has enjoyed the 
challenge. 

“Being the only senior with any 
experience. I knew I would have to be a 
leader on the court as well as off,” the 
Pacer captain said. “We have a lot of 

young, talented players on this team, 
and it was my duty to assume the role 

of team leader.” 


The Pacers have enjoyed a very 
successful season with a new 
contingent of performers blending in 
with Stentiford under Hancock's 
direction. 

The Pacers are in the thick of the 
conference race and within sites of 
anotherd 20-win season heading into 
the final regular season games. 

“Coach (Ray) Mears (athletics 
director) has built and promoted the 
program into among the best 
anywhere," Stentiford said. "And it 
has been a privilege to play under 
someone like coach Hancock. He has 
meant a lot to me and helped me make 
great improvements. 

“With those men directing the way 
and the players on the team, there is 
a very bright future ahead for the 
program. I wish them nothing but the 
best” 

Stentiford, a business administra¬ 
tion management major, is looking 
toward the possibility of continuing his 
playing career next season. When his 
playing days are over, he may pursue a 
career in business or coaching. 

When Stentiford’s UTM career 
ends, his name will be written in the 
record book in several offensive 
categories. But, again, those are 
secondary to Stentiford. 

“I would like to be remembered to 
Pacer fans as a hard-worker, a player 
who always gave 110 percent,” he said, 
“and as a player who was a part of the 
beginning of a tradition.” 

There is little doubt for concern. 
Pacer fans will always remember 

Stentiford and what he has meant to 
the Pacer program. 


PREVIEW 


UTM Basketball Coach Tom 
Hancock is pointing toward the 
Saturday. Feb, 26, regular season¬ 
ending clash with North Alabama as 
his team’s game of the year. 

Tipoff between the two Gulf South 
Conference rivals is 7:30 p.m. in Pacer 
Arena. 

“This is the game for us, Hancock 
said. "Our players have battled 
throughout the season without the 
services of an injured Jerry Davis, 
1983 GSC Player of the Year. and it is a 
tribute to them. I hope we have a full 
house of Pacer fans when North 
Alabama visits.” 

UNA defeated the Pacers 67-61 in 
the teams' first meeting on Jan. 28 in 
Florence. UNA was atop the GSC race 
with a 9-2 mark going into games the 
past weekend at Mississippi College 


and Delta State. The Pacers were in Jesse Apple will be making their final 
third place with their 7-4 GSC showing regular season appearances in Pacer 
going into a similar swing. Arena. 



“North Alabama has made the most 
improvement of any team in the league 
standings over last year and our 
players know it will take an 
outstanding effort going into the 
contest,” Hancock said. “We hope we 
can have a good performance and gain 
momentum going into the league 
tournament." 


The first round of the GSC 
tournament will be held Tuesday 
Feb. 28, at the site of the first four 
finishers in the league race. The 
Pacers virtually assured themselves of 
an upper division finish with a 65-62 
win over Troy State last week. 

The semi-final round and the 
championship game will be held at the 
site of the schools remaining in the 
tournament holding the best regular 
season conference finish. The semi¬ 
final game will be played on March 1 
with the championship tilt set for 
March 3.

Mitch Stentiford and reserve forward 


“Mitch has made tremendous 
contributions to the program and been 
an outstanding performer for three 
seasons,” Hancock said of the Pacers' 
all-time leading scorer. “His personal 
achievements speak for themselves. 
Jesse has also been a vital part of our 
team, always gives an outstanding 
effort in practice and a pleasure to 
work with." 

Stentiford has led the GSC in 
scoring all-season long. He was 
sporting a 19.8 p.p.g. average through 
24 games. Forward Sam Cherry was 
carrying a 15.3 p.p g. average and was

of his shots.

nationally in the latest Division II poll. 
Forward Maurice Stafford, who has 
been the nation’s top field goal 
percentage shooter for most of the 
season, leads the Lions with a 14.1 
p.p.g. average. Guard Robert Harris 
contributes 11.7 points a game and also 
is the team's assists leader.

Fedak closes fine career 


Basketball closes; volleyball next 


By JANE POLANSKY 
Intramural Coordinator 


Tonight marks the final evening of 
intramural basketball. For the past 
six weeks participants have engaged 
in fun, fitness and fellowship. I cannot 
express my appreciation enough, to all 
the individuals who have helped make 
this season a success. 

Since I've been here this is the first 
time that a women's open league has 
ever existed. The women in this league 
deserve a lot of credit for broadening 
the scope of the women’s program. The 
skill level among the open league 
players was comparable to those 
individuals participating in the Pacer 
league. 

1 am looking forward to seeing more 
women’s league teams sign up for open 
league play in the upcoming volleyball 
and softball seasons. Your continued 
support of open league play will help 
my efforts to expand the women's 


intramural program. Together we can 
help our program grow both in scope 
and participation. 

Mark your calendar now! All 
interested men, women and co-rec 
team captains sign your team up for 
intramural voleyball at the IMportant 
nrieeting WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 
at 5 p.m. in the P.E. Complex student 
lounge. Look for the Ford Bronco II 
volleyball advertisement in the next 
edition of the PACER. For 
information contact Jane Polansky. 
intramural coordinator, Room 1020,

The end of the 1983-84 basketball 
season will mark the conclusion of the 
four-year career of Fran Fedak as a 
Lady Pacer. 

Being a captain and the only senior 
on the squad. Fedak tries to set a good 
example for all of her teammates, but 
especially for the newcomers who are 
"learning the ropes.” Setting the 
example isn't too difficult for the 5- 
foot-10 senior since she has quite often 
felt like a newcomer herself. 

In her career at UTM. Fedak has 
had to adjust to the tune of three 
different head coaches. 



Fran Fedak 


“The adjustment from Coaui Judy 
Southard to Anne Strusz following my 
freshman year was frustrating 
because it was not something I’d 
planned on,” Fedak said. 

“The replacement of Coach Strusz 
by Karen Lawler following my junior 
year was easier for me because I’d 
know Coach Lawler for a few years.” 

The 1980 graduate of Oakland High 
School in Murfreesboro, where she 
never missed a single game, has also 

played in all 109 games since coming to 
UTM. 

Though she has often been 
stereotyped as an “off-the-bench 
player," Fedak felt that given the 
chance, she had the capability to start 

Now, as a Lady Pacer starter at a 
forward position, Fedak is averaging 
7.3 p.p.g. with a game high of 20 
coming in a recent outing with 
Mississippi College. 

Fedak was the 1982-83 recipient of 
the Bettye L. Giles Award for 
outstanding athletic and academic 
ability. She holds the school record for 
blocking three shots in a game on two 
separate occasions. She was also 
named to the all-tournament team at 
the Lady Moc Invitational in 
Chattanooga this year. 

Fedak said that she was shocked and 
excited by these awards. 

“The past four years have flown by, 
and I'm not really ready for them to 
end, but Ill always cherish the 
memories," commented Fedak as she 
reflected back on the fun times and the 
trips. 

The 21-year-old Fedak plans to 
teach physical education and health 
upon graduation, but would also 
consider going into corporate physical 
education.

The 1984 Olympics in Sarajevo, 
Yougoslavia, saw no miracles for the 
U.S. as was performed four years 
earlier in Lake Placid. However, there 
were many individual achievements 
that are worth noting. 

Every medal that was won by the 
USA came either on the ski slopes or on 
the ice in figure skating. The skiers 
won three golds and two silvers. The 
gold medals were won by Debbie 
Armstrong in the women s giant 
slalom, Bill Johnson in the men's 
downhill and Phil Mahre in the men s 
slalom. The two silvers were won by 


Christine Cooper in the women s giant 
slalom and Steve Mahre, Phil's twin 
brother, in the men’s slalom. 

The ice skating medals were won by 
Scott Hamilton, who captured the gold 
in men’s figure skating; Rosalynn 
Summers took the silver medal in 
women’s figure skating and the 
brother-sister duo of Peter and Kitty 
Caruthers won the silver medal in 
pairs figure skating. 

Those who got close but came up just 
a little short were Tiffany Chin, who at 
16 finished fourth in women’s figure 
skating and would appear a good shot 
at a medal in Calgary in 1988. Jeff 
Hastings finished fourth in the 90 
meter ski jump. The United States I 


Four-man bobsled finished fifth. 

Alright so we only won eight medals 
in all; in 1980 we won 12 medals but 
Eric Heiden won five of those and 
where were the speed skaters this 
year. Besides, on the average the US 
wins an average of 8.1 medals per 
Winter Olympics. This year’s total was 
average, and we won four golds 
compared to the 2.7 average. How 
many people do you know who go 
bobsledding or luging. We in the south 
are lucky if we have ever been to 
Gatlinburg to go snow skiing. So 
maybe the Winter Olympics is notour 
big thing, but just wait till Carl Lewis, 
Greg Luganis and others crank itup in 
LA. this summer.

The Pacer. Martin. Tennessee. February 23, 1984 


Lady Pacers bow to Delta State 


Sports Calendar 


By FRANK HODGES 
Sports Editor 

The Lady Pacers found the going 
rough in Cleveland, Miss., this put 
weekend as the Cady Statemen bested 
UTM 95-65. 

UTM wu ice cold from the field. In 
the first half, the Lady Pacers shot a 
poultry 30 percent on 13 of 45 
attempts. 

Delta State, on the other hand, hit 18 
of 38 shots or 47 percent. The Lady 
Statesmen were up 50-30 at the half. 

In the second half the Lady Pacers 
found the range a little better as they 
hit 16 of 46 shots. 

Diane Jordan was high scorer for 
UTM with 14 points and she added 10 
rebounds. Other scorers in double 
figures for the Lady Pacers were 
Angela Reaves. 12; Fran Fedak. 11 


and Deenie Ware, 10. 

The Lady Statesman were lead by 
Deborah Temples' 31 points and 12 
rebounds. Carla Holdee chipped in 
with 15 points while Vicke Jackson 
had 10 points, 11 rebounds and eight 
assists. Tina Gordan and Ida Johnson 
had 10 points each. 

The Lady Pacers fell to 9-16 and 
were to host North Alabama on 
Wednesday night. They will travel to 
Nashville Saturday to play Tennessee 
.State and then return home for 
Tuesday night's game against Austin 
Peay. 

This game will mark the end of the 
regular season. It will also close out 
Fran Fedak's career at UTM. 

In the Lady Pacers' last appearance 
at home against Cumberland, a full- 
cort press defense enabled UTM to 
break away from a 39-39 halftime 
deadlock and roll on to an 86-70 


triumph. The Lady Parer defense 
limited Cumberland to just a pair of 
buckets through the first nine minutes 
of the final half. 

"Our pressure defense helped get us 
rolling against Cumberland and in 
turn helped open up things for us 
offensively.” Lawler said. 

Four players carry double-figure 
scoring averages for the Lady Pacers. 
Junior guard Deenie Ware averages 
12.4 p.p.g. Ware is also the team’s 
assists leader, handing out an average 
of 5.2 a game, and leads the team in 
steals with 62. 

Forward Angela Reaves averages 
12.0 p.p.g. and leads the team in 
rebounding, bringing down an 
average of 7.3 missed shots a game. 
Forward Diane Jordan follows closely 
in the scoring column with an 11.9 
average. Paula Polumbo closes out the 
double-figure scoring with a 10.0 
p.p.g. average.

Is winning everything or is it just playing? 


By FRANK HODGES 
Sports Editor 


Grantland Rice, a noted sports- 
writer. once said, “It is not whether you 
win or loose but it is how you play the 
game.” The first time 1 heard this I was 
sure that Mr. Rice had never competed 
seriously in athletics. Personnaly. I 
still feel the same way. 

Most of athletics is based on winning 
at all costs. If you do not believe me, 
call Steve Sloan at Duke University 
and ask him why he left Ole Miss. ^ 

Bill Battle did not leave Tennessee 
because he was a bad fellow, he left 
because his teams could not beat 
Alabama. 

However, in the recent Winter 
Olympics what Mr. Rice said is 
applied. 

i Sure, he all watched as individuals 
1 and teams from various countries 
battled for the gold medal in all sortsof 
athletic events. To the victors such as 
Steve and Phil Mahre. Bill Johnson, 
Debbie Armstrong and Scott 
Hamilton, they will always have sweet 
memories of these Olympics. 


On the other hand, there is the U.S. 
Hockey team, Tamara McKinney, 
Kerry Lynch and others. These people 
worked so hard to fulfill a dream that 
few ever get a chance to act out and 
then to fail in the sense that they did 
not win a medal. These people will 
experience a defeat that hopefully they 
will learn from and will make them all 
better humans. 


But back to Mr. Rice’s comment 
about how you play the game. Many 
competitors were glad just to 
participate in the games. There were 
four skiers from the war-torn country 
of Lebanon. They were just glad to 
compete, and their goal was to just 
finish the race. Two of them did finish 
their slalom race and even though one 
of the runs was longer than that of Phil 
Mahre’s winning two runs, the 
Lebanons were elated. 

The USA also had great efforts. One 
was from the USA I bobsled which 
finished in fifth place. This is the 
highest finish ever in Olympic history 
for a USA-driven bobsled. But 1 guess 
it was best said when one of the figure 
skaters was asked about the marks she 
had received for her performance. She 


replied that she was proud of her 
performance and it did not matter 
what the judges thought. This truly 
amplified what Mr. Rice had said. 

What I am trying to say is that the 
Olympics were not made just for 
winners but also for those who are 
there to compete. The best example of 
all those given which can best sum up 
the whole situation is the Egyptian 
downhill skier who finished in last 
place one minute and 10 seconds 
behind the next-to-last finisher. 

Elsewhere, the New York Jets 
traded quarterback Richard Todd to 
the New Orleans Saints for a 
firstround draft choice. This leaves the 
Jets with former Tennessee 
quarterback Pat Ryan and rookie Ken 
O’Brien as their quarterbacks. The 
Jets have also traded defensive 
linemen Kenny Neil and Abdul 
Salaam along with middle linebacker 
Stan Blinkainwhat appears a series of 
hdbse’-cleaning moves. The USFC’s 
second season begins Sunday. The 

Memphis Showboats will host the 
Philadelphia Stars. Memphis lost 20-0 
to the New Orleans Breakers in their 
last exhibition game. 


Skiers and skaters earn U.S.’ medals 


In baseball, Dusty Baker was picked 
up on waivers by the San Francisco 
Grants. Tom Seaver has agreed in 
principal to a contract with the White 
Sox. Seaver was picked by the White 
Sox as compensation for signing by 
Blue Jays of Dennis Lamp. 

College basketball is winding down. 
The Pacers close out their regular 
season this weekend. Division I starts 
their tournament March 15. North 
Carolina appears to be the team to 
beat. 

Last week’s trivia question answers 
are: (1) the Pacers longest winning 
streak is 10 games; (2) on November 
22, 1982, the Pacers scored 124 points 
against Lambuth; (3) during the 1971c 
72 season Troy State allowed 134 
points; (4) Charlotte Doaks was the 
Lady Pacers' field goal percentage 
leader in 1978-79; (5)winterolympics 
were first held in 1924. 


This week’s questions are; (1) What 
former Pacer basketball player is an 
assistant coach at Kentucky?; (2) Who 
is the Pacers’ career percentage free 
throw leader?; (3) Who attempted the 
most field goals in a GSC game?; (4) 
Who is the winningest coach in college 
basketball?; (5) What was the 
nickname of the minor league hockey 
team in Memphis? Answers in next 
week’s Pacer.

Wednesday . March 21. If you choose to remain on campus during spring 
break you must sign up and prepay at the housing office before Wednesday. 
March 7. Price per room, per person, per night is six dollars. All will be 
housed at Clement. 


William Madrey. Jr., of Martin has 
been named coordinator of UTM'i new 
Minority Trainee/Intern Program. 

Madrey, formerly assistant 
professor of physical education at 
Saint Augustine's College in Raleigh. 
N.C.. will be responsible for recruiting 
qualified black candidates for the 
innovative program and for 


monitoring participating students' 
progress. He assumed his new duties 
Sept 1. 

The UTM program provides 
opportunities for qualified black 
college graduates to pursue study 
toward a master's of business 
administration degree while serving 


Trainees work approximately 20 program at UTM, complete a ooctorai 
hours per week, primarily in business program at another institution, and 

research and receive an annual return to UTM to teach full time, 

stipend of $4,200 and a waiver of all “UTM is strongly committed to 
tuition charges, including out-of-state identifying and assisting talented 

fees. black men and women who aspire to 

Madrey explained that participat- careers in college teaching and 
ing students are encouraged to administration.” he said, 
complete their master's degree “The University’s commitment to 

black student recruitment and 
retention is sincere and significant, 
built on the premises that waste of the 
talent and energy of a large segment of 
our population is a cost that cannot be 
afforded and that a pluralistic society 
must provide black role models at all 
levels of endeavor.” 

Robbie Green, 32. of McLemores- 
ville, and Darryl Gurley. 23. of 
Huntsville. Ala., are the program's 
first participants. 

Green graduated from UTM in 1974 
with a bachelor's degree in business 
administration. Gurley received a 
bachelor’s degree in natural science 
last year from Johns Hopkins 
University. Baltimore. Md. 

Both students, who plan to complete 
UTM's graduate program in business 
administration in the spring of 1985, 
say the program offers exceptional 
opportunities for prospective college 
teachers. 

“This program provides valuable on- 
the-job training with an opportunity to 
complete a graduate degree,” said 
Green, who served as a financial aid 
officer at Methodist Hospital's Mid- 
South School of Nursing in Memphis 
prior to enrolling for graduate study at 
UTM. 

“The opportunity to conduct 
research, gain teaching skills, and 
contribute to an outstanding academic 
program while completing my 
master's degree- coupled with the 
financial assistance-was something I 
simply could not pass up.” 

She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Robert L. Green of McLemoresville. 

Gurley echoed Green’s comments, 
adding “My plans following 
completion of the MBA program at 
UTM is to become a college or 
university professor of economics or 
finance. 

“Research plays an important part 
in the teaching process, and my 
experience at UTM should help 
prepare me for what I hope will be a 
rewarding career in higher 
education," the Alabama native says. 

Gurley is the son of Mr. and Mrs. 
James E. Gurley, 2807 Moss Road, 
Huntsville.

This past weekend was partly sunny 
with a high of 82 degrees in St. 
Petersburg. Florida. How’s that for a 
weather report? 

Along with mother nature 
cooperating around here a little with 
some pretty fine weather lately, there 
are some folks in Martin who want to 
help you catch the inevitable malady, 
spring fever.

ending. 

There’s plenty of sex and nudity- 
none of it actually Shields--and it’s 
interesting to watch her simulate an 
orgasm as a prop man pinches her 
little toe offscreen (I didn’t know if this 
was true or not at first, but after seeing 
the movie I believe it). Zefferelli’s 
trademark photography is all wrong 
for the subject, with inappropriate 
lighting reminiscent of the staccato 
colors in Creepshow. All the attempts 


at “atmosphere” fall flat, and the 
editing is about as exciting as a sudden 
attack from a tater tot. 

Zeferelli, who directed a very 
successful version of Romeo and 
Juliet a few years back, apparently 
felt he could substitute blatant 
sentimentality for good sense. There's 
nothing wrong with trying to make a 
serious film about teenage sex--Risky

These characters might work great 
in satire or parody, but as straight 
drama they simply seem like absolute 
morons. Hewitt decides to try to 
“impress” Jade’s family by secretly 
setting their house on fire and then 
staging a daring rescue, but heends up 
having to be rescued himself and being 
sent off to an asylum (the one logical 
decision in the entire movie). After he 
finally is released, seemingly years 
later, he manages to rekindle the affair 


famous scene in Butch Cassidy and 
the Sundance Kid. 

Even more ludicrous is the 
characterizations of Shields’ family. 
Don Murray plays her father, who at 
one moment is puffing on a joint and 
blowing one of his daughter’s friends a

The UTM chapter of the Student 
Affiliates of the American Chemical 
Society is among 30 of more than 800 
student chapters nation-wide to 
receive an "outstanding" rating from 
the American Chemical Society. 

Dr. Fred Basolo, ACS president, 
said the UTM chapter earned the 
outstanding rating for its performance 
during the 1982-83 academic year. 
This is the sixth consecutive year the 
UTM chapter has been recognised by 
the society. 

Dr. S.K. Airee, UTM professor of 
chemistry and SAACS adviser, said 
the ACS Committee on Chemical 
Education annually reviews the 


activities of all student chapters and 
gives special recognition to those 
chapters that have compiled 
oustanding records during the 
academic year. 

“Each year we filea report listing all 
of our sponsored activities with the 
ACS," Airee explained. "The 
Committeed on Chemical Education 
reviews the reports and rates each 
chapter on the quality of program¬ 
ming. activities and degree of student 
involvement in planning, organizing, 
and implementingd programs." 

SAACS is designed to give students 
of chemistry, chemical engineering 


and related pre-professional areas an 
opportunity to gain experience in 
preparing and presenting technical 
material before chemical audiences, 
secure the intellectual stimulation 
from professional association and 
instill professional pride. 

UTM'a chapter annually sponsors a 
high school science bowl and the area 
collegiate chemistry meeting. The 
chapter has received numerous 
Innovative Activities Grants from 
ACS to fund special projects, and 
student members host a variety of 
lectures and activities for the 
University and surrounding 
communities.
